Financing Statements. Grantor
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and

Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and
amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all of
the assets of Grantor or words of similar effect (excepting only
the membership interests of SpineMedica held by Grantor),
regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the
Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or the
Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of
an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain
any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of

behalf of all of the Holders. Grantor agrees to furnish any such
information to the Holders promptly upon
request. Grantor agree that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or of
a financing statement is sufficient as a financing
statement.
(c)
Confirmation. From time
to time, Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request,
execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging to
the Holders the Collateral, but Grantor’s failure to do so
shall not affect or limit any security interest or any other rights
of the Holders in and to the Collateral with respect to

satisfied, the Holders’ Liens shall continue in full force
and effect in all Collateral.
